When Animal Collective fans attack.

Last night’s Bowery Ballroom show for the much-hyped Animal Collective was, obviously, sold out. So one enterprising fellow decided to put his E-Ticket up on Craigslist for $100 — and went on to sell that same ticket at least a dozen times. Needless to say, the ticket could only be scanned once and dudes got ripped off. The hitch for our beloved scammer? His name was on the E-Ticket. And now his e-mail address, phone number, mobile phone, and work information is all over the Brooklyn Vegan comments section for the show. As of yet, no comment from the suspected con-man, but I suspect he hates the Internet right now.
